The G-FORCE AE is a folding e-bike that stands out for its price. At 399 USD, it is 60% below the median price of 999 USD for its type. That makes it one of the most affordable options in the MathBikes database.
It pairs that low price with a large 720 Wh battery, which is 4% above the class median of 691 Wh. The bike is heavy, though, at 36.3 kg, which is 38% above the median of 26.3 kg. It suits riders who want a cheap, long-range folding bike and can handle the weight.

What riders ask about the G-FORCE AE
How much does it weigh?
The G-FORCE AE weighs 36.3 kg. That is 38% above the median for folding e-bikes, which is 26.3 kg. It is a heavy bike, so lifting it onto a bus or up stairs will be a challenge.
How much torque does it have?
The motor delivers 40 Nm of torque. That is exactly level with the median for its type. It is a hub motor, which is common on affordable folding bikes.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class bike. The top speed is 24 km/h. There is no throttle, so you pedal to get assistance.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims a range of 97 km. MathBikes estimates the range at 51 km, with a band of 45 to 57 km. That estimate is 47% below the claim. The estimate comes from a formula, not a test. You can adjust the assumptions with the range calculator.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 399 USD. Running costs depend on electricity, maintenance, and replacement parts. The warranty is not listed, so factor that into your budget. Use the cost calculator to compare long-term costs.
Where it falls short
The G-FORCE AE makes a clear trade-off: it is very cheap, but very heavy. At 36.3 kg, it is 10 kg heavier than the median folding e-bike. That weight affects portability and handling, especially if you need to carry it.
Who should buy it
The G-FORCE AE is for budget-focused riders who want a folding bike with a large battery. It is not for anyone who needs to lift the bike often or who expects a long warranty.
- You want the lowest possible upfront cost for a folding e-bike.
- You have a place to store it that does not require lifting it far.
- You prioritize battery capacity over weight.
Look elsewhere if you need a light bike for commuting on public transport, or if you want a warranty you can rely on. The weight and lack of published warranty are significant drawbacks.
